Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2003 hyundai santa fe (v6 2.7l 4 wd). my issue has a long history. once the brakes get warmed up (usually in stop and go traffic) and i begin to coast the brake pedal will shudder and i hear a low roaring or rubbing sound from the right front tire. the noise will stop if i depress the brake pedal - even just a little. this goes from a mild issue to a big problem - the vibration and noise was serious enough that i stopped and had the car checked immediately. i've been told by dealerships one time it was nothing and another time, it was too dangerous to drive my car. the last (and hopefully last) solution was some sort of lubricant put on the brakes. i have yet to go a full year without this problem recurring. this has been going on since i bought my car and while some of the repairs have been covered, others have not and i believe i have paid for unnecessary repairs. i have had my car serviced for this issue 9 times. no more hyundai's in my future. hopefully this info will help someone else and maybe someone at hyundai reads these complaints. *tr
